Meet Darren Lawrence, a former Air Force member who initially dipped his toes into the tech world as a DevOps engineer, leveraging his military experience as a network administrator. Even though his position was comfortable, Darren realized the limited growth opportunities it offered.

His journey wasn’t merely about securing a job but rather embracing a role that resonated with his ambitions and aspirations.
